Someone save me: Video shows Mumbai man's relentless knife attack on guards
Mira Road Stabbing: The video, filmed from above on a mobile phone, shows one of the victims screaming for help while the assailant repeatedly stabs him.
A shocking video of the brutal stabbing of two guards in Mumbai's Mira Road has surfaced. In the video, filmed from above on a mobile phone, one of the victims is heard screaming for help while the assailant repeatedly stabs him.
"Koi Bacchao (Somebody help)," one of the victims is heard screaming as the assailant stabs him. Moments later, the victim is seen running for help while the assailant – 31-year-old Jaib Ansari – flees from the spot.
The video captures an attack that took place around 4 am on Sunday in Mira Road East, where the two guards — Rajkumar Mishra and Subroto Sen — were on duty at an under-construction building.
WHAT TRANSPIRED ON SUNDAY?
Ansari stabbed the guards after he asked them about their religion and if they could recite the Kalma (an Islamic declaration of faith), which they denied, police said.
Mishra suffered serious injuries, including damage to his intestines, while Sen sustained minor injuries to his back. Sen managed to hide inside a security cabin after the attack, police said.
Using CCTV footage from the area, police identified Ansari and tracked him to his rented residence in the Naya Nagar area in Mira Road East. He was arrested within one-and-a-half hours of the incident.
An initial investigation by police officials revealed that the assailant watched ISIS propaganda videos.
The case has now been transferred to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which would probe whether the attack had any ideological or extremist links.
